Cool morning air chills my skin as I sit on our porch that overlooks the ocean. I watch the sky change colors from a deep sapphire to baby pastels during the next thirty minutes. Chattering birds get louder as more light floods in. The hotel building across from me glows bright and golden as the […]

To say the past year has been a whirlwind would be an understatement. I have not written a blog post since February, with plenty of good reason. However, each time I sit down to write, I feel overwhelmed with a feeling of obligation to give all of the reasons and cram the whole year into […]

Our final road trip destination will ultimately lead us to Austin Texas. We decided to take the road trip since it is February and a rather slow time for business, so we might as well enjoy the week and see some places we wouldn’t have seen if we just flew in and out of Austin. […]

Google maps estimated our trip from Tybee Island to New Orleans would be precisely 10 hours. When we first planned the trip I assumed we would leave at the crack o dawn, but at the last minute I had a bridal client appointment that I needed to meet with beforehand on Saturday morning. As soon […]

Shimmering sun sprinkled gold glitter over the sea, piercing blue skies and white cotton candy clouds suspended to the east and west as our caravan of three cars crossed the Lazaretto bridge.

After several appointments with cardiologists, electrophysiologist, endocrinologist and echocardiography technicians, the latest verdict from the medical community is inconclusive. The best they can tell me is my condition is not a thyroid issue, nor is is a heart defect, blockage or […]

The waves crashed and made merry noise just one hundred yards from the second level screened porch where we gathered. Giggling women around a table snacking on whatever everyone grabbed from their house for an impromptu party. My friend Kerriann came to visit on Tybee for a few days during spring break. It seemed like […]

If I were to describe myself from the past week, it would have to be contemplative. Not melancholy or sad, just quiet and waiting. I skipped joining my girlfriends a couple times this week and opted for my jammies and slippers instead. I kinda feel like a bear hibernating for the winter. Storing up my […]

Tybee is an island filled with people that like to have fun. Which means there is usually some kind of party or celebration most any night of the week. Tybee is not just a pretty place to live at the beach. It is a tight knit community of 3,000 people that care about each other […]
